I have used this DTF hack for personal apparel many times and have had success about 95% of the time. If you get wheel marks scrape them off after you have cured the transfer, taking great care not to ruin your design. I just use my Cricut spatula edge to do this. The marks will not transfer if there is no DTF powder in that spot(s). I have also washed my shirts many, many times and they have held up well.
I got the wheel marks yesterday and didn’t notice them until after I pressed the Tshirts. So I’m going to have to redo them and take care to pay attention to those lines after I cure the powder. Also, I noticed that my white t-shirts appeared to be a little scorched from the heat press. Perhaps, my heat press is hotter than it says. I’ll use the temperature gun to test it. Thanks for the tip on removing to wheel marks before pressing.
Thank you! You were the first person who didn't talk my head off in the beginning and got right to materials and how to get it done!! Great video, very helpful.
Hi Sallie! I have had the same results as 2 And Or 4. I've used this hack for several months to make tees for myself & for family & friends as well. It's extremely soft & holds up very well after several washes. The transfer has a bit of a stretchy feel to it, which can be nice when pressing on tank tops. I do put my tees in the dryer, but have had no peeling or cracking of my designs. I do get ink transfer from the feeder wheels also. I've tried different things to try to stop this from happening, but I think it's just something we have to deal with to be able to use this hack. I also use various scraper tools (depending on the details of the designs) to scrape off the ink made by the feeder wheels. It can be a hassle, but it's the only solution I can think of for now. I love the versatility of being able to use 100% cotton now (tees, hoodies, sweatpants, etc.), SO worth it in my book!! The only 2 downsides for me are the feeder wheel marks & not being able to put designs with white on other color tees. Still an excellent hack for sure!!!
Thank you for this very informative video. Thank you for going over things step by step and really showing us how it is done. The shirts look great and I agree with Janie we need a tutorial on dark shirts.
I was so excited to hear about this hack and I did it on several t- shirts to try. I washed them many times and they all faded somewhat. The black ink got blotchy. I used the same film and powder as Sallie. I tried by curing the powder on the film and also by not curing it and had same results. Was so disappointed. I also tried by doble covering with powder still same Results. Next for me will be by trying another brand of film and powder.
Hi Sallie, looks great! Could we see this same demo on dark shirts? Looking forward to follow-up on washing the somewhat faux DTF on cotton. Thanks! You're awesome. You're definitely one of my favorite influencers!
I loved your video! Great job!!! I’m getting into the DTF HACK, and am discovering what looks best on which substrates color-wise. Light or White fabrics works best so far. I’m still working on getting the dark cotton fabric sublimation hack fine tuned.
I love your videos because they are so informative and you show step by step. If you make a mistake, you show it and show everyone makes mistakes. Can this be done on a dark color tee shirt.?
Hey Sallie I Love Watching your videos you are definitely my go to Diyer on things like this, I never tried this technique I want to, Im deciding on another cutting machine Explore 3 is what I want I do have a Silhouette cameo3 I love it but a lil contrary at times lol🤣🤣🤣
I watched another video earlier today, and the person said the Bidirectional setting causes the wheel marks. I’ll have to try it and make sure that option is not selected. Or just scrape the marks away after curing the powder. I didn’t notice the marks until after I pressed the T-shirt with the beautiful Christmas design on my last white shirt size Large. I have to do it again now that I have more white cotton t-shirts in size Large. Merry Christmas Everyone!!!
I’m very new at this and you’re the first person that explained this well. Because of you, the paper and powder is in my Amazon cart. Thanks so much! Btw, did it still look great after washing it?
Always read the container to see if it’s toxic or not. Either way, you should be in a well ventilated area the same as when you’re doing regular sublimation. I hope this helps.
I use the dtf hack alot only problem i find is sometimes after washing, the black ink will get blotchy on the shirt and dye the image black in spots. Doesnt happen every time but 50/50
Cool, but you don't have to use sublimation ink. Seen people use regular inkjet ink. And I'm thinking if you use a regular inkjet ink will can then lower your temp down to like 320.
I tried this but after wash it was a disaster... i dont know what I did wrong. I cannot find where is the follow-up video. Can anyone advise brand or procedure for success even after wash? Thanks
Did you wash in cold water with the garment turned inside out? Did you dry it on cool or just air dry? Did you wait at least 24 hours before washing it?
Theres still no way to achieve white correct, so any design with with will be transparent and will show the color of the tee. That's a lot to help a customer to understand 🤔
@@SimplySallie Hi, Sallie, I was just watching your video and reading a lot of your viewers’ comments, and they have questions that you have not acknowledged. If it’s something simple enough, I went ahead and answered, but I’m here to learn just like they are. Thank you. Wishing you and your family a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with GREAT SUCCESS.

You can use this technique on light colors. I just did a beautiful Christmas design on a light gray T-shirt. The color is really nice.

Hello Sally 👋 thanks for this tutorial. I'd love to see this hack on dark cotton shirts
I have been trying to get a video that i understand. Thank you may the Lord bless you and give you more for your business to grow blessings
I would really love to see the follow up on how this held up after a few washes
Same! I looked for the update video that was mentioned at the end here but I don't see one.
I’ve seen this numerous times also and have been wanting to try it! Can’t wait for the follow up vid!
Hi Sallie, looks great! Could we see this same demo on dark shirts? Looking forward to follow-up on washing the somewhat faux DTF on cotton. Thanks! You're awesome. You're definitely one of my favorite influencers!
Hi there! Yes I will def try this. Thank you so much 🥰
Use an offset with white for dark colors. There's a video for that.
I loved your video! Great job!!!
I’m getting into the DTF HACK, and am discovering what looks best on which substrates color-wise. Light or White fabrics works best so far. I’m still working on getting the dark cotton fabric sublimation hack fine tuned.
What are you using for Dark Sublimation DTF hack?
I love your videos because they are so informative and you show step by step. If you make a mistake, you show it and show everyone makes mistakes. Can this be done on a dark color tee shirt.?
Hey Sallie I Love Watching your videos you are definitely my go to Diyer on things like this, I never tried this technique I want to, Im deciding on another cutting machine Explore 3 is what I want I do have a Silhouette cameo3 I love it but a lil contrary at times lol🤣🤣🤣

Btw, did it still look great after washing it?
Waiting on the follow up video
This was great. Thank you Sallie. ❤
Thank you, awesome video, I just have to work out how to stop print roller lines 🤷♀️
You deserve more subscriber.. 🎉🎉
Hi Sallie, where do you Recommend buying bulk polyester shirts?
What size are your designs? Very good video.
Off topic. Where did you get your racks for your vinyl rolls? I need them in my life right now.
How well did it wear? Can't find an updated video.
Waiting in that too 😊
So cool! Do you have to wear any safety things with working with the powder or are there any fumes when pressing?
Always read the container to see if it’s toxic or not. Either way, you should be in a well ventilated area the same as when you’re doing regular sublimation. I hope this helps.
Looks great!😊
The film and paper combo is thicker so you need to adjust the paper settjngs
Wow so cool 👍🏼
What were the results after the wash?
I use the dtf hack alot only problem i find is sometimes after washing, the black ink will get blotchy on the shirt and dye the image black in spots. Doesnt happen every time but 50/50
How did it hold up?
Love them. Where did you get your images?
Is the heat press specific to sublimation or dtf or the heat press machines work on both
When would you use the black dtf power,
when curing before printing, what do i do if my heat press is a Cricut Heat Press and not like the one you are using?
Follow up video?
How did it turn out after washing?
Hi Sally what program do you use or recommend to make your own designs . Thank you
I like your videos ❤
How did the washing go?
Thanks lot
I tried the hack but I'm getting snippily prints
How did the watch test go?
I've watched a couple of videos on this, some are stressing the toxic affects from the dtf powder. Do you use anything special?
did it hold up?
Question: I am curious on how the shirts washed up and if so what temp did you wash them at and setting.
Hi Sallie! Can you tell me what printing preferences you used? For example, paper type and quality? Thanks!
Do you have the follow up video with washing it.
It is coming soon!
Is there a new video how it held up in washing it ?
Cool, but you don't have to use sublimation ink. Seen people use regular inkjet ink. And I'm thinking if you use a regular inkjet ink will can then lower your temp down to like 320.
A lot of inkjet inks are water soluble and will wash out when laundered.
Where's the follow up video.
I tried this but after wash it was a disaster... i dont know what I did wrong. I cannot find where is the follow-up video. Can anyone advise brand or procedure for success even after wash? Thanks
Did you wash in cold water with the garment turned inside out? Did you dry it on cool or just air dry? Did you wait at least 24 hours before washing it?
Have you done the wash video yet?
Did you do a followup video I can't find it
Has the wash test been posted? I can’t seem to find it
Theres still no way to achieve white correct, so any design with with will be transparent and will show the color of the tee. That's a lot to help a customer to understand 🤔
Have you tried this with a larger print?
not yet!
Works best if you use the same brand of powder as film.
Good to know! Thanks!

Update?
After one wash it is fade away.
Oh that’s strange- Mine has lasted months!
LOL, I thought you were saying Pizza wheels.
that is what I said 😂 Some of the sublimation people call it that when you get the ink marks on the paper!
@@SimplySallie oh, lol. When I saw other comments I thought it was feeder.
♥️♥️♥️
Have you tried this on a dark Tshirt?
Dtf on shoes
Thank you for this video, I really like how you explain everything, the introduction and the explanation of what this hack means are extraordinary.
